In March 2009, chairman & Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) Peter Mukerjea, and founder & CEO Indrani Mukerjea, left their management roles at INX Media.

In August 2010, INX Media renamed itself 9X Media as part of a restructuring process. It was planned to be acquired by Zee Entertainment Enterprises in October 2017 for the cost of ₹160 crore, however the plan fell through in March 2018.

In June 2020, the company shut down its English music network 9XO.
